Royal Adelaide Show

I hope you liked our little sneak peek yesterday. Now we've got the full scoop, along with photos.

I got everything packed the night before so I didn't have to rush. We left home at about 10:15am and arrived at 10:30am. Ethan fell asleep on the way there. He probably didn't have enough sleep the night before. We parked very close to the entrance, about 2 minutes walk, for $16. It's for easy access when we bought stuffs and can keep in the car instead of carrying them around. We got our tickets at the post office earlier for $16.20 per adult instead of $18 at the entrance. Less than 5 minutes after we got in, the rain started to pour. We had to run for shelter. The weather that day was not very good for outdoor activities, it was very windy and showering on and off.

At the Showbag pavilion. Tried to use the harness on Ethan but didn't really work.

We walked around in the Jubilee pavilion looking at the booths in there. It's a very big hall with an expo in there selling all sorts of stuffs. We didn't buy anything there and walked to the Showbag pavilion and bought two showbags for Ethan. Then we walked to the car to put the showbags in. After that we looked for something to eat. I had a bacon and egg roll and Eddie had a slice of pizza with some chips. Ethan had a bit of everything. Since we didn't have enough we decided to search for more food. We had some Indian rice and curry, the same food we had everytime we went there. There's always a long queue at their stall. Sorry no photos, we were trying to eat as fast as we can because it looks like it was going to rain again.

The rides at the show. We didn't go on any rides.

After lunch we went to the Agriculture Learning Centre to let Ethan look at the farm animals. See Ethan having fun with the animals at his blog. They have sinks at the entrance for us to wash our hands after touching the animals. Then we went to the Dog pavilion to look at the dogs that were waiting to be judged. The dogs that were on show that day were

Terriers: American Staffordshire Terrier, Sealyham Terrier, Scottish Terrier
Hounds: Afghan Hound, Beagle (my favourite in this list)
Utility: Boxer, Leonberger, Neopolitan Mastiff, Newfoundland
Non sporting: Dalmatian, Lhasa Apso, Shih Tzu

Look at that super huge Newfoundland.

I didn't take the photos of all the dogs because a bit shy as the owners were there. Also there was a big crowd, whenever I want to snap a dog, someone would walk right into my frame. We went back to the Jubilee pavilion after that because we didn't really go through all the booths before. I was looking at the Crocs shoe for Ethan but they didn't have a size for him, so I saved $40, for now. Then I wanted to go and see the honey extraction show but was too late.

In the end I just got myself a chocolate banana milkshake for $4.50. Decided to give Ethan a little taste, BAD decision! He wouldn't give it back to me. He chewed on the straw so much that he couldn't drink and got upset. We had to change a new straw for him four times. When I changed the straw for him I took a sip, he screamed at me. Haiyo, this boy ar! When we wanted to put him onto his car seat, we took the milkshake away, he screamed and cried like there's no tomorrow. Don't worry though, he stopped when we were about to reach home.

Countdown to Sydney: 7 days (What am I supposed to pack?)
